The SkyBar of Traders Hotel at Puteri Harbour - Nusajaya, Johor.

The SkyBar (N1.41768 E103.65640) is located at the Rooftop pool deck of Traders Hotel at Puteri Harbour, Nusajaya - Johor. We were invited to the SkyBar for their opening private party on Saturday evening 12th Oct 2013. SkyBar is the trademark of Traders Hotel, have you been to the SkyBar at Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur?

The SkyBar is totally different from day time and night time...it's a beautiful infinity swimming pool overlooking the Puteri Harbour and Straits of Johor during the day time, when the nights fall...the pool area is beautifully lighted up with the good company by your side, the feeling is simply magical!

It was about 7pm, the invited guests were walking into the SkyBar area one-by-one...foods and drinks were prepared much earlier to serve all the guests...

The small table in the pool was the fresh seafood like oysters and others...this was a special arrangement, nice!

About 120 guests from members of Singapore Sport Car Club, Exotic Car Club, AT Rider Superbikers from Johor Bahru and corporate guests attended the opening party.

The guests queue up for foods very soon just after 7pm, guess everyone can't wait to taste the delicious cuisine prepared by the Executive Chef - Alan Wong and Food and Beverage Manager - Avraam Koutsides, Traders Hotel.

Everyone was queuing up for their favorite food which located at border of the SkyBar. There were plenty of varieties on that evening with the wide food range from local to international, from raw to cooked...

The local popular food - Satay

There was a long queue for the above foods...especially the grilled beef! Yummy!

The seafood counter was specially presented in the children pool...yes, you heard me right! It was inside the pool.

"Herbert B. Hyman started The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf ® in 1963 with a dedication to excellence and quality, and his efforts made him the founding father of gourmet coffee in California. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf ® has since grown into one of the largest privately- owned, family-run coffee and tea companies in the world.

The endurance and popularity of The Bean, as it is affectionately referred to by devotees, can be attributed to the high standards that were established from the beginning.
